*sigh* So much wrong, so little time.

(1) I'm a private citizen, and I have an NY CCW. 24/7, 365 EDC.

(2) My NY permit isn't valid in your state, either. Reciprocity, how does it work?

(3) LEOSA also works, in both states.

(4) CCW =/= 2A, according to the courts.

(5) We'd just love to "change our situation", but unfortunately the 49% of us with a brain in our heads are a little outweighed by the 51% that live in NYC and Long Island.

(6) ^^ Same as Colorado, California, Nevada, and Florida. And pretty soon, your state if all you do is sit on your butt.
